The number of cases doubled in the last week, I feel like we have seen this movie before. If it continues like this (and I am not saying it will) it means Hawaii will add 63,000 new cases in 8 weeks. If they did not open when they virtually had no cases, I am curious to see the discussions going forward. I should get ready to wave good bye to my December trip.

Yep, new records everyday. Maui’s Mayor wants to quarantine inter-island travel again but the Lt. Governor says not to since new cases aren’t coming from that sector. Hawaii’s Hotel industry said that they are ready for visitors now.

Lots of discussion but it sounds like the Governor will shut down the bars for three weeks. He said that would give them time to have a better plan in place to police the bars to verify they are complying with distancing and masks.

Shoot! Just as we are finishing our quarantine period tomorrow. We were thinking of using our limited TS points (Vistana or Hyatt) on neighbor island in early Sept. Looks like I'll have to find a trade for Koolina or Hilton. I have HGVC points too.

Hmm , are the beach lagoons at Koolina or Hilton considered public??
I understand swimming is allowed but no lounging on the sand.

>> For in-person spiritual services, face coverings are mandated at all times with no singing or wind instruments allowed.

>> Restaurants are limited to seating groups no larger than 5 people.

>> All social gatherings at offices are prohibited.

Caldwell said outdoor attractions, recreational commercial boating activities and water parks will remain open for groups of no more than 5 people.

Beaches, parks, hiking trails and bars remain closed, he added.

In additon, Gov. David Ige announced that the state’s pre-travel COVID-19 testing program expected to begin on Sept. 1 will be delayed until at least Oct. 1.
